Jeremiah 23:23
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away?”
In context
21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.”
23 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away?”
24 “Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?” declares the LORD. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.
25 “I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
